Soil water residence times and solute uptake on a dolomite bedrock—preliminary results

Calcium and magnesium levels have been monitored in slope foot drainage waters on a dolomite bedrock. Both calcium and magnesium rich pulses occur. Short term dissolution experiments demonstrate high calcium levels in solution while other authors have suggested that long residence time groundwater has relatively high levels of magnesium due to calcite precipitation. Patterns of field fluctuations in Ca: Mg ratios can thus be tentatively interpreted in terms of short residence time water of high calcium content mixing with long residence time water of high magnesium content. Fluorometric dye tracing has been used to indicate the orders of magnitude of soil water residence times, suggesting that quickflow components are resident in the system for a few hours to a few days. Further work is in progress.

Photocatalytic Activity of Combustion Synthesized Nanocrystalline CeAlO3

The photocatalytic activity of combustion synthesized nanocrystalline CeAlO₃ was determined for the degradation of four anionic and four cationic dyes. The perovskite oxide showed high‐photocatalytic activity and a complete degradation of all the dyes was possible within 2 h. The photocatalytic activity of the compound was comparable with the activity of the commercial Degussa P‐25 TiO₂ catalyst. The degradation of dyes was found to follow first order kinetics and the first order degradation rate constants were determined.     

Oreganum Stalks as a New Biosorbent to Remove Textile Dyes from Aqueous Solutions

In the present study, Oreganum onites L. stalks in natural and chemically modified with HNO³ and H³PO⁴ used as adsorbent for removal of both acidic and basic dyes from waters. The adsorption was studied as a function of pH and contact time by batch method. All tested biosorbents were characterized by FT‐IR, scanning electron microscopy, and measuring the pH dependence of the zeta potential. The adsorption isotherms were fitted to Langmuir isotherm. The maximum adsorption capacity of dyes was 280.73 mg g^?1 for Basic Red 18, 147.06 mg g^?1 for methylene blue and 112.36 for Acid Red 111, which is comparable to that of other lignocellulosic materials. The modification process was considerably increased the biosorption capacity of lignocellulosic material, resulting in a 56–63% increase in the biosorption capacity of basic dyes and a 125% increase in the biosorption capacity of acidic dye. The present study illustrated that the most effective factors in the adsorption of basic dye were surface charge and acidic groups on lignocellulosic biosorbents, while non‐electrostatic forces as well as electrostatic forces were also effective in the adsorption of acidic dye. In conclusion, Oreganum stalks can be considered as a very prospective adsorbent for the removal of tested basic and acidic dyes.     

微生物电化学体系中金红石可见光还原降解偶氮染料的实验研究

利用双室微生物电化学装置对微生物和半导体矿物协同作用下偶氮类染料废水的还原脱色降解进行了系统的实验研究.不同光照条件及不同阴极电极材料的对比实验结果显示,偶氮染料甲基橙(MO)可作为终端电子受体直接从固体电极上获得电子被还原脱色;各对比实验中,在微生物催化与半导体矿物光催化协同作用条件下,MO还原脱色效率最高.电化学交流阻抗谱(EIS)的拟合结果显示金红石涂布阴极电极光照下极化内阻(Rp)为443.4 Ω,较无光条件下的1378 Ω显著降低,证明光照下金红石阴极的电子转移过程受其光催化作用的驱动.不同初始浓度下MO的生物-半导体催化还原反应符合准一级动力学模型,其反应速率随MO初始浓度降低而增加.通过对脱色产物的进一步分析,推测该实验中MO的还原脱色反应机制为: 阳极初始电子供体在微生物的催化作用下将电子通过阳极电极和外电路传递给阴极半导体矿物电极,进而在半导体矿物的光催化作用下通过光生电子还原终端电子受体MO,使MO中的偶氮键断裂,生成无色的联氨类衍生物.
